Expert Reviews

50% tank/50% barrique fermentation, 6 months maturation in Marsannay oak. Sourced from the Oakbank district of the Adelaide Hills, an area that the experienced winemaker believes delivers complexity in chardonnay. Frankly, it's too soon to make a call on complexity, however, the wine does have a high citrus and cool climate herbal intrigue - wild thyme, nettles, sage - matched with leesy, toasty oak and forward acidity.

Winery Tasting Notes

La Bise Chardonnay comes from two select vineyards within the higher areas on the Adelaide Hills in the subregions of Oakbank and Piccadilly. We want the fruit flavours to shine through so the wine is not oak dominated, rather fruit first with some oak flavours.

Nectarine, peach and blood orange fruit flavours backed up with almond, oatmeal and hazelnut derived from the French oak barriques. A minerality is evident throughout the palate whilst still maintaining an opulent creaminess from the lees stirring. The mid palate generosity is pulled into line with a fresh lime acid finish.

Winery Profile

Internationally acclaimed winemaker Natasha Mooney is proud to present La Bise Wines

La Bise Winery started in 2006 in the Barossa Valley and has since progressed to produce a range of interesting and sophisticated wines from various regions in South Australia. Natasha Mooney has spent her winemaking life making wines for various wineries and winning awards for the wines she has made. These winemaking stints include Penfolds, Barossa Valley Estate, Lindemans, Xanadu, Sidewood Wines and Fox Gordon Wines.

“After making wines for other companies for many years, I decided I should be releasing these wines under my own label and allow people to buy them straight from my winery. La Bise is French for “the kiss” and the wines that I produce I like to say have been given “the kiss of life” by myself and my growers”.

The La Bise wines are made from parcels of fruit that would otherwise go into large more commercial blends but instead have been located as special parcels to be given the best treatment and then presented to you at a fantastic value for price. Natasha works with growers in the regions of Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills and Coonawarra that are committed to quality and consistency. Supporting growers in each region that are often relying on the income of a small vineyard is an important part of Natasha’s and La Bise’s philosophy to ensure longevity in each region and quality for the end product.
